Atletico Madrid's Brazilian-born forward Diego da Silva Costa tries to engineer a scoring chance ... but within eight minutes he's forced to accept that he can't play on due to his lingering hamstring injury. So much for the horse placenta treatment he had

In the 32nd minute comes the first big chance of the match. Bale surges into the box and just as he's about to let fly, his rhythm is interrupted by a flurry of defensive tackles and the ball flies wide of the far post

Four minutes later, Atletico Madrid's Uruguayan defender Diego Godin gives his side the lead with a calamitous goal. The Real keeper Iker Casillas came racing off his line to intercept a high ball into the box, but he changed his mind and was caught in no-man's land as Godin's back-header looped over him and into the net

Then Bale thunders into the box, but once more he fails to strike the ball cleanly and he shot runs harmlessly wide ... It's getting increasingly desperate for Carlo Ancelotti's men. Atletico are defending deep but they're doing so with great resilience

Diego Simeone goes feral in the final moments. He races on to the pitch to remonstrate with Raphael Varane and then the referee, and he gets himself sent off. Thankfully he exits before the incident gets really ugly
